Hi Guys,

Did we ever come to a consensus on the best MA legal open face helmet?

Like a lot of you it seems, I'm looking to get period style riding gear for next year, but helmets are a hard choice - don't mind the Bell, but is it legal?  Anything else good out there that looks period?

Maybe the new JT racing gear may do one, otherwise get a Arai and stick a duckbill on it. ;D

Not being anal,but for those who are new to the sport.  8)
Hate for you to get knocked back from scrutineering.  >:(  You can wear an open face or full face,though it must have one of the below bits of information on it.You can also private message fatboyracing a member of this forum if you need any more help  ;D Happy Helmet Hunting  :)

Best is in the West !!

Be armed with a rule book showing the info relating to your helmet at scutineering , i had a drama with a chief scrutineer at a national event because he did not know the E6 standard in my Australian purchased shoei was MA approved. It made no difference when i pointed out to this genius that he had put the MA scrutieering sticker on the helmet 2 months prior . It was up to me to find an MA rule book (as an international rider i dont have my own hard copy ) and show him the rule  ::)

I know i know officials are vollenteers and we should all be gratefull (because weve never been officials or vollenteered have we ) but it would be nice if your going to police the rules to actually know the forking rules  ::) or at least have a rule book on hand  ;)

Rant over get a shoei RJ air 2  :) you wont regret it .

How about the NEW Bell R/T? This is a pommy ad, but I am sure they can be had more cheaply and certainly have some good retro colours:  http://www.grandprixlegends.com/motorcycle-gear/motorcycle-helmets/bell-helmets/

I bought an R/T and stuck a duckbill on it.


The other half is white WIW.

You guys just don't get the whole vintage thing don't you? Every well dressed Cheney or Metisse owner should have one of these puppies. ;)

Does anyone know if the M2R Custom FG has the correct standards labels to be legal?

I like the Bell R/T, but I don't like buying a helmet without trying it on....  If no one local stocks Bell, it sorta rules it out for me...   :'(
